It's winter, all right. And we are indeed planted still, finishing out our last four games with meaningless impact on the postseason races. Although I might be interested in Colorado for some skiing in a couple of months, the only thing I want to see today, before we get the hell out of Denver, is the Dodgers making their way toward a .500 record. Aim for excellence, Boys in Blue!

In a weird way, I'm hoping for the Padres to go into Friday's series three games back. The Padres will have the pressure of having to sweep four games (3, plus 1-game-playoff) and the Giants will have the pressure of only needing to win one game. If I remember 2002 correctly, Frisco has a bit of a problem with that.

I want to say that listening to Steiner and Monday is like listening to a really uninteresting podcast, but even podcasters remember they have an audience that they have to entertain and convey clear information to.

Steiner is so condescending about the Caesar's Palace seventh inning back-to-back HR contest, that Caesar's should ask for its money back. Steiner mocks the plausibility of such a ridiculous event with this Dodger squad.
